Askance #40 notes
Well, I finally got an idea to tie together the tenth anniversary issue of my fanzine ASKANCE.
As ideas go it really is simple, but the execution is a bear: rerun the ten best articles, ten best covers, best cartoons, plus locs on issue #39, and add in a proper editorial explaining it all.
The thing that has been hardest is perusing the previous 39 issues and making these decisions. This is not an easy thing to do. My original goal was to have #40 done before Easter, and obviously that has not happened. However, I have kept plugging away at it, and it is nearly completed. I need to finish editing the letter column and write three or four more editorial type pages.
It all does look pretty good. Currently it stands at a whopping 78 pages, by far the longest issue I have produced yet. I will try to top it off at exactly 80 pages, but I doubt that will happen. Oh, well. It's all going to be worth it.
